Joe, about how much would it cost to send all that stuff you posted above to get done? I have a vivid black SG tho, and I was thinking a matte black would give it kinda cool contrast.

sorry for the late response... we do not cure wtih UV, IMO that is a BS way of coating... we have a walk in oven we use. cure temp depends on the powder we are shooting and what coat it is. if you have any quesitons on pricing please shoot me a PM and i am more than happy to help you out!

Blacked mine out with Powdercoat. If you need a name and number PM me. The guy that done mine traded my parts for his powdercoated ones. I was not down any, I payed for the powdercoat and he sent me his parts and when I swapped them out I sent mine back to him. Cant beat that in my book.
Thanks
Mark

Powder coating is the way to go. Also you can get them all day on ebay. See them there all the time.

Here's the best guidance for your bike:

1. Strip all your chrome off bike during winter hibernation.
2. Ship to JRK for coating.
3. Re-assemble when parts are done/returned.

You'll be money ahead vs. buying "black-out" aftermarket & pleased w/the quality work (search the forum - professional coater).

I ordered all the engine pieces in wrinkle black from harley. Cost me about 750 bucks. I am selling all the chrome stock pieces on ebay. Should recoup at least half that money and there was no down time.

Get a plain black cover at aceze.com or J&P. I believe they both have them for quite inexpensive, although if you are powder coating, just coat them. Sned it all to Joe Knapp, he does an excellent job on everything.
